The yellow of the broom flower, the blue of the sea. Two separate bedrooms — the largest of the three.
You can walk to Pompeii
In Scafati, three houses around a courtyard of lemon trees. The ruins are a 15-minute walk — no car, no parking, no queue. The Amalfi Coast starts at Cetara, half an hour by car. From 2027, in Agerola too.

The courtyard and its citrus trees.
Where you sleep
It isn’t the Coast. It’s better, for seeing it.
In Scafati you sleep in a courtyard of lemon trees, in real houses, with the space the Amalfi Coast won’t give you at this price. And in the morning you walk to the ruins: fifteen minutes, no hunting for a parking space and no paying for one.
It’s why our guests give us 5.0 across fifty reviews: in the evening they come back to somewhere quiet, and in the morning they’re inside Pompeii while everyone else is still queuing for the car park. And the real Amalfi Coast starts at Cetara, half an hour by car: it’s there when you want it.
The houses
Five houses, five flowers, five colours.
Each house is named after a flower and took its colour. Three in Scafati, around the lemon courtyard. Two in Agerola, up the mountain, from 2027.

DiscoverAnd you won’t need a car.
The Scafati railway station is 250 metres away: a three-minute walk. From there, Naples and Salerno in 25 minutes by train — no traffic, no parking, no driving in Campania. The ruins, as you know, are a fifteen-minute walk.
That’s not us talking. Anja wrote it, after ten days here: «We walked ancient and modern Pompeii, visited Naples and the Amalfi Coast, climbed Vesuvius. And all of it without a car, because public transport runs on time and is affordable too. The train is a short walk away.»
From 2027 a stop for Capodichino airport is planned: two stops by train. Today it’s thirty minutes by car.
The courtyard
From the alley you see nothing.
You walk in, and you see paradise.
It’s a courtyard house, the way they built them a century ago: rooms all around, the garden closed inside. The windows don’t face the street — they face the trees. The quiet our guests write about in every language isn’t a decorating choice: it’s how the house is built.

★★★★★
The place was perfect, ideally located close to the train station, making it easy to get around Naples and visit nearby sights. Domenico was an exceptional host: he kindly allowed us to check in early and securely stored our bags while we waited for our taxi after check-out. He also provided plenty of great recommendations for food and shops, and even gave us fresh lemons from his garden. It was an amazing place to stay!★★★★★
So nice apartment and the host! 😊★★★★★
me and my husband were on a3 weeks tour through Italy and stayed at 4 different apartments. none of the others came even close to this one. the apartment was clean, nice and convinient . the garden around the house was cosy beautifull and plesent. but above all the service and the behavior of the owners was excpetional and we truly left with a taste for more!!!!!5/5 Airbnb (50+) ·9.6/10 Booking (18) ·5/5 Google (31)

Pompeii first. Then the Coast.
From 2027 you won’t have to choose: a few nights among the citrus trees with the ruins a fifteen-minute walk away, then you move up to Agerola and wake above Amalfi. Two bases, one stay, one person to talk to. This is something you cannot buy on Airbnb.

Scafati — the archaeology
The ruins a 15-minute walk away, Naples 20 minutes on the A3, Vesuvius half an hour. You come back in the evening to the lemon courtyard. Available now
Opening soon · 2027

Agerola — the Coast
Two apartments in Campora, in the house Therese’s great-grandfather built in the early 1900s: empty for decades, and reborn after three years of work. The Path of the Gods five minutes away, Amalfi twenty-five.

The houses
Real cement tiles, lime, wicker.
The floors are the original ones: Neapolitan cement tiles, pattern by pattern. Lime walls, straw chairs, books left behind by whoever came before. This isn’t catalogue furniture — it’s a local house, well kept.
